It was a nice day today. I had to go in to the office for a meeting. I finally got all the tax papers I needed – not a moment too soon either! I basically have a week to file. After I got home we walked to a park near our home and let the kids play around a bit. Nolan just has so much energy we wanted to let him loose. I put 50% down on a fence this morning.

I told the kids last week that if they went cleaned their playroom every night before going to bed that I would take them to Chuck E Cheese’s. The did as I asked so tonight we went there for family night. They sure had a fun time. I know I really loved that place when I was young. A funny thing happened while I was there.
